[QUOTE="NickW, post: 2025274, member: 102067"] Killed a bull Elk at 480 with Berger 168gr classic Hunter out of a 280AI this year. Severe quartering angle. Put it back behind shoulder into ribs to catch lungs. Exited base of neck. Severe blood loss. Put a fast second in him. He collapsed and slid down the ridge.....then he stood back up. I shot him twice more but probably wasn’t necessary. He collapsed. Very tough animal. Other than the neck exit all bullets stayed in animal. A few days later I was with my buddy when he killed his bull at 525. One shot behind right shoulder, slight quartering, with a 28 Nosler pushing the Berger 175 Elite Hunter. Punched through left shoulder Shedded jacket just under hide on opposite side. Elk took two bounds and flipped over backwards and was dead. Very impressive. Although both bullets were successful, i’ll definitely be building a 28 Nosler. The extra energy is appreciated. Not sure why some pics are sideways. Sorry.
